Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Management and staff attend safeguarding training and have a good knowledge of child protection. They ensure all staff understand the signs that indicate a child's welfare might be at risk and the steps to take to help support children's safety. Managers follow robust recruitment procedures and regularly check the suitability of all staff to support children's safety and welfare. Management help staff to understand procedures and systems to support children's behaviour. For example, staff have good knowledge of the behaviour policy and confidently implement this to support children's well-being. Managers are aware of informing Ofsted of significant changes in a timely manner. Safeguarding is effective. Management effectively evaluate and monitor staff practice and provide ongoing support to improve the quality of teaching and the provision. Outcomes for children have improved. Managers have strong partnerships with parents and professionals to help

provide continuity for children's learning. Parents are very satisfied with the quality of support their children receive.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff understand the needs of individual children and plan effective experiences to support their learning. For example, they follow children's interest and plan a veterinary centre. Staff extend children's thinking and speaking skills well. For instance, they use carefully worded questions to encourage children to develop and express their thoughts. Staff provide exciting opportunities to encourage children's listening and concentration. For example, children participate very well in music sessions.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The key-person system is effective and helps support children's emotional well-being. Staff help children form close relationships and children seek staff out when they need help or reassurance. Staff praise children and celebrate their achievements and efforts to help support their confidence and self-motivation. They help children to understand about people's similarities and differences, and to be respectful of others. For example, children learn about each other's cultural festivals, and say, 'please' and 'thank you'.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are keen to learn. They show interest in early reading and writing. For example, older children learn to write their name and younger children make marks. Older children understand shapes and colours well. They learn to take turns, share and develop good social interaction. Children develop good imaginations, for instance, as they pretend to be vets. Children happily take part in activities that contribute to their good health and physical well-being. For example, all children benefit from being physically active. All children make good progress in learning and are ready for future learning and school.
